To make chai-spiced white chocolate blondies, you need the following ingredients: - 1 cup unsalted butter, melted - 1 cup brown sugar, packed - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 2 large eggs - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger - 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom - 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves - 1 cup white chocolate chips - Optional: Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans) Using the correct measurements is key for great blondies. Here’s a breakdown: - Butter: 1 cup, melted, adds richness. - Brown Sugar: 1 cup, packed, for that deep flavor. - Granulated Sugar: 1/2 cup, gives sweetness and a nice texture. - Eggs: 2 large, act as a binder. - Vanilla Extract: 2 teaspoons, for warmth and depth. - Flour: 2 cups, forms the base. - Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon, helps them rise. - Salt: 1/2 teaspoon, enhances flavor. - Spices: Cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves give the chai twist. - White Chocolate Chips: 1 cup, for sweet bursts in each bite. - Optional Nuts: Add 1/2 cup if you like crunch. You can swap some ingredients based on what you have. Here are some ideas: - Butter: Use coconut oil for a dairy-free version. - Sugars: Try coconut sugar for a less refined option. - Eggs: Use flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons water) for a vegan choice. - Flour: Substitute with almond flour for a gluten-free option. - White Chocolate Chips: Dark or milk chocolate can work too, but will change the flavor. - Nuts: Try different nuts or leave them out if you prefer. These ingredients come together to create blondies that are soft, sweet, and full of flavor. Adjust them to fit your taste or dietary needs! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Leave some paper hanging over the edges. This helps you lift the blondies out easily later. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with brown and granulated sugar. Mix until it's smooth. Next, add each egg one at a time. Stir well after each egg. Then, mix in the vanilla extract. In another bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices—cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves. Slowly add the dry mix to the wet mix. Stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; this keeps the blondies light and fluffy. Finally, fold in the white chocolate chips and nuts if you want extra texture. Pour the batter into your lined pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check if the edges are set. Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs. Once done, take it out and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Lift the blondies from the pan using the parchment paper. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely. After they cool, cut them into squares. Enjoy these sweet treats! To bake the best chai-spiced white chocolate blondies, follow these steps: - Use Fresh Spices: Fresh spices give the best flavor. Buy whole spices and grind them if possible. - Melted Butter: Use melted butter for a rich taste. It helps blend the sugar well. - Mix Gently: When adding dry ingredients, mix gently. This keeps your blondies light. - Check Your Oven: Every oven is different. Use an oven thermometer for accuracy. Avoid these common mistakes when making blondies: - Overmixing: Mixing too much makes blondies dense. Stop mixing as soon as you see no dry flour. - Wrong Pan Size: Use a 9x9 inch pan. A smaller pan can lead to undercooked centers. - Not Cooling: Don’t cut blondies while hot. Let them cool to keep the texture nice. To make these blondies even better, try these ideas: - Add Nuts: Chopped walnuts or pecans add crunch. They pair well with the spices. - Extra Spice: For more warmth, add an extra pinch of cinnamon or ginger. - Flavor Pairing: Serve with chai tea. The flavors complement each other perfectly. - Drizzle Chocolate: A light drizzle of melted white chocolate on top adds elegance. {{image_2}} You can change the spice mix in these blondies. Try adding nutmeg for a warm touch. You can also use allspice for a different flavor. Mixing in some black pepper gives a bit of heat. Adjust the spices based on your taste. Each blend creates a unique twist on the classic recipe. Feel free to personalize your blondies with add-ins. Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans add crunch. Dried fruit, such as cranberries or apricots, gives a sweet bite. For a richer flavor, try adding coconut flakes. You can also mix in dark or milk chocolate chips. Get creative with what you love! You can make these blondies gluten-free easily. Substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free blend. For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil instead of butter. Swap white chocolate chips for dairy-free chocolate chips. These swaps keep the flavor while meeting dietary needs. Enjoy your blondies without worry! To keep your chai-spiced white chocolate blondies fresh, store them in an airtight container. Line the container with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place a layer of blondies inside, and cover them with more parchment. This helps keep them soft and moist. Store them at room temperature for up to five days. If you live in a humid area, consider putting them in the fridge. If you want to save some blondies for later, freezing is a great option. First, let the blondies cool completely. Then, cut them into squares. Wrap each square tightly in plastic wrap. Place the wrapped squares in a freezer bag or container. Label the bag with the date. You can freeze them for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw them in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for a few hours. When serving leftovers, reheat them for a warm treat. Use the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. This makes the white chocolate chips melty and delicious. Serve with a cup of chai for a perfect pairing. You can also dust the tops with powdered sugar for a nice touch. If you have nuts, sprinkle some on top for extra crunch. Enjoy your blondies fresh and warm! Yes, you can use dark or milk chocolate. Each option brings a different taste. Dark chocolate adds a rich, bold flavor. Milk chocolate gives a sweeter, creamier touch. I suggest using the same amount as white chocolate chips in the recipe, one cup. You can check if the blondies are done by looking at the edges. They should be set and slightly golden. Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are ready. Baking time is about 25-30 minutes, but ovens can vary. These blondies pair well with chai tea for a cozy treat. You can also serve them with vanilla ice cream for a nice contrast. Add fresh fruit like berries for a burst of flavor. A drizzle of caramel sauce can also make them even more tempting. You now have everything to make amazing blondies. We covered the ingredients you need and how to measure them.

Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1 cup white chocolate chips

Optional: Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans) for added texture

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.

      Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.

        In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, and ground cloves.

          Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies light and fluffy.

            Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

                Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

                  Remove from the oven and let the blondies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
